Conguring the Master Compressor (Master Comp)
This is a two-band compressor that is provided for each kit.
The sound to which the master compressor is applied is output from
the OUTPUT jack and the PHONES jack.
5 Use this eect to raise the overall loudness by compressing brief peaks in the
sound. The compressor lets the sound project better, without being buried in the
mix by the other instruments.
5 The compressor-limiter lets you increase the recording level while limiting the
excessive level input to the recording device.
5 The limiter makes the sound less likely to distort if you’re using a small monitor
amp, by limiting peaks in the sound.
